Interests other than Cars? - Page 2

Olympus · 15-05-2005, 10:00 AM

I enjoy photography, listening to music, watching movies, playing 8 ball, fiddling with computers, going for walks, dining out and spending time with my family and friends.

Tornado · 15-05-2005, 10:03 AM

Fishing, boating, camping, bike riding, playstation and playing with new toys like any form of electronic gadget. Although since getting married my gadget list is getting old and getting shorter.

Panda · 15-05-2005, 10:55 AM

PS2 (love Gran Turismo 4)
Nitro powered Remote Controlled Car racing (Ford GT of course)
Woodwork (I'm slowly getting better at it)
Cruising with the XR Club
Computers (I'm doing a bachelor of IT part time)
Home brew (I'm slowly getting better at this too)
Self-confessed Gym Junkie
General Handyman / repairer of holes in walls from kids heads
Car Audio installations (really love this)

Somewhere in there I manage to work a full time job, plus I've got a wife and 3 kids to keep me busy as well.

One day I'll sleep......surely.

I am similar were's I am playing my bass every day, then surfing often as possible.

XRQTOR · 15-05-2005, 05:30 PM

Other than my car and girl's i'd have to say jet ski's, dirt bikes and go kart's. I also love shooting but rarely get a chance to do it. Oh then there's the pub, being with mates being stupid, drinking beer and perving on chick's.

Psycho Chicken · 15-05-2005, 07:57 PM

Shooting, which I really need to get my **** into gear and get a rifle, I haven't shot in 18 months. Ah well, it was an assault rifle!

That and cars are the big ones, other than that in no real order; playstation, bit of music, movies and 20th century/military history.

Girlfriend is gonna read this and hit me when she realises she didn't get a mention.

If your love is shooting without a rifle you should consider contacting the NZ Army. :the_finge Hey don't say bang in the direction of other people!!

MITCHAY · 15-05-2005, 08:33 PM

Getting smashed wit my mates and chicks, getting slammed by big waves at the beach and all the usuall. Partying all night to the day dawns is by far the best thing to do especially with hot chicks.

Nah no lessons. Teaching myself...downloaded a few self teach videos. Not doing too good though

: but it is good fun.

Feathers · 15-05-2005, 09:01 PM

Um, other than my car... playing the violin, listening to music, going out with friends, roadtripping, sleeping, chatting to my lovely boyfriend, and friends online, playing pool, hanging out with my Dad.
Probably more, but I am chatting to above-mentioned boyfriend, and am therefore rather distracted.

Ah shooting, I used really get into that. Shooting at the Victoria Rangers, but I gave it all up when I had to hand in my semi auto .22 and my SPAS12 Shooting a pistol was heaps of fun.

Thats awesome. i already taught myself guitar, and I wanted to keep the self taught trend going lol.

Did you just buy a basic kit, and if so, do you mind sharing how much?

Sorry for all the Q's.

Feathers, I play guitar, always wanted to play violin, how long is the conversion course??

MITCHAY · 15-05-2005, 09:05 PM

Ah drums. Good fun even when you dont know how to play. Just smash em and see what beats you can get goin. I did music in high school (compulsory in P.E. for ****s sake) and we had to play the drums as part of assessment. I just went wild and said **** it its not like it was goin to get me anywhere in the real world. A lot of coordination required. I sucked real bad lol. Too busy chatting to my mates and chicks to actually learn it lol. I remember my teacher saying if you hang round the girls too much your grades are gonna go down. I was like **** it theyre hot so who gives a shit

I know for a fact it is easier than going the other way.
4 strings - 4 fingers, works much better for me than 6 strings - 4 fingers.
and once you learn violin you can play viola, and with a little practice, cello and double bass.
But having inherited a $50k violin I'd be shot if I stopped.

Hehe, that's great! I've played with a cello, got a tune out of it in a few minutes, so... I might look for the violin! Devil went down to Georgia... here we go!

Bucknaked · 15-05-2005, 09:14 PM

I secretly wear my undies on the outside of my trackie daks put on a mask and try to leap tall buildings in a single bound.

I like some sports. Don't mind darts, enjoy watching the AFL and dreaming of back yard blitz.

yeah i bought a basic kit...5 piece ludwig cost me $800. I don't know if I'll get good enough to warrant a better kit. For now it is just for my spare time (not much of that).

LOL you need to be twiddle fingers to play that song!!
I prefer to stick to playing in orchestras. Then you also get to hang out in the green room and play with other peoples instruments when you get bored.
Absolute favourite pieces are Handel's "Messiah" and Bizet's "Carmen".
To sit in a 100 piece orchestra and play those for an audience is a spine-tingling experience. :1syellow1

Driving GM's... The kind that have 16 cylinders, are 2 stroke, supercharged, run on diesel and are roughly 12, 500 cubic inches in capacity and weigh about 145tonnes unloaded.
